Models of Fine / Fee Payment Integration | Confluence | A description of four possible integration methods for collecting fine/fee payments with Alma. |
CashNet eMarket products | Confluence | A list of eMarket subscriptions by campus. Campuses with unlimited eMarkets can use a CashNet eMarket 'storefront' to collect fines and fees (see Models of Fine / Fee Payment Integration for a description of the eMarket integration, as well as pros and cons). A fee would need to be paid to CashNet for campuses that do not have unlimited eMarket licenses to set up a library eMarket storefront. |
Procedures: Alma and Bursar Integration for Exchange of User Fine/Fee Data | Confluence | A work in progress describing configuration options. |
Systems integration survey | Google Forms Survey | Determine current configurations and workflow specifics. |

Integrating Alma and PayPal with the Alma REST APIs | Ex Libris Developer Network | |
Configuring the WPM e-Payment System | Ex Libris Developer Network | A payment integration developed by Ex Libris for UK universities. Recommendation to propose to Ex Libris that a similar integration be built for US schools to use with CashNet. |
